Automating with Autoscore: Introducing an R package for automating the scoring of orthographic transcripts

Resumen

Automation tools---software that simplifies, calculates, scores, or otherwise performs necessary research tasks---can increase the efficiency and reproducibility of many common research tasks. Herein, we present the Autoscore R package, an open-source research and clinical tool for scoring orthographic transcripts for a measure of words correct, an important task in a variety of fields. It has previously been demonstrated that Autoscore is highly accurate and efficient (Borrie, Barrett, & Yoho, 2019). This paper presents the design of the Autoscore package, outlines how the software can be extended or improved, and provides a brief tutorial on the use of the package on example data. We also conclude by discussing the implications of Autoscore, and other openly accessible tools like it, in improving replicability and reproducibility of research.
